I thinking in buying this game

[Acotreles]

when the eternal league its out, maybe I will give it a try, I enjoyed blood bowl 1, then got sad at 2. But if they implement a eternal league, I could be interested.

It still isn't perfect but it came a long way. I like the new rules it's based on and now prefer it to BB2. But if you only want to play PvE you should wait for the eternal league next season and wait for a good discount. AI is bad, it's not very challenging to play against it.

i'd say that if your intention is to buy the game soon or later, buy it soon, every season you get a free team that will be get paylock after, now its nordic, they are quite charismatic, you dont wanna miss that. i mean if you really plan to buy it at one point.... but yeah as much as i like the game i dont think its worth for single player

It's not free, you need to grind for them if you don't want to buy, that's about 30-40 games vs horrible AI (as the topic starter doesn't seem interested in MP that's the only option).

It has better AI/SP and more teams, that's about it.

BB2 still trumps over BB3 for the moment the fact that all races are on has a campaign and you also have a players market if you decide to do players trading for same race, which leads to another version of blood bowl that's bb3 is lacking.

Honestly another reason not to get bb3. Fomo. Otherwise pay up. At this point just keep bb3. Sad to see the franchise get handled like that.

I'm not getting the point (if there is any at all). Getting teams for free is THE reason not getting the game? You had to buy teams separately in both previous games, just so you know, and you never could get them for free before. For somebody who just occasionally bought the game on sale at huge discount 7 years after it was released, with all the teams already included, it may not be obvious probably, but people who actually played games of this franchise for decades know this.

Not only is the AI awful, the single-player game is broken on a technical level. The whole campaign is insanely buggy, to the point where it isn't really playable (i.e. clicking on things and not having them register/severe input lag when clicking on things, the AI taking upwards of a minute to move a player, random crashes). I have experienced these and worse in only two short hours of gameplay. Truly a grim state of affairs, seeing as BB2 was awesome.

Teams are TEMPORARILY free. If you don't grind out the pre-requisite amount of matches in time, you have to still buy them anyway. The rest of your "point" is just gibberish. But that's nothing new.

Look, let me put it in the most succinct, and neutral way possible:
If you want multiplayer, this is the game to get, warts and all.
If you want single-player, stay away.

Well, it's still big improvement for thouthands of active player - because in the past they were not free at all, unless you buy a complete game, like Legendary edition, many years since release. Sure thing mate, I'm talking gibberish, not people complaining about getting teams for free :D

Dangling a team at the end of a time restricted grind is not an improvement. Leveraging people’s FOMO is not an improvement.
Not to mention, anyone who buys a game after said time limits expire have to buy the teams anyway.
Worse still, the way Blood Bowl 3 is structured, there will not even be a Legendary Edition that gives the rest of the teams in a single reasonably priced bundle, like they eventually did with Blood Bowl 2.

Sure, dude, you would know better than thouthands of people who got it for free ;) In twisted realities of non-gibberish talkers having a new, additional option of getting all teams for free "isn't an improvement". Not so enlightened observer would claim you're raving ofc, but I'm more tolerant to people on the challenging side of logical thinking spectrum, so you do you. Just FYI though: I've completely cleared BP this season in two weeks with zero effort (by "zero effort" I mean I wasn't deliberately grinding it, just was playing the game in the Ladder and Arena when I wanted to).

Sure, I played a lot, it was my vacation and I didn't have much to do due to winter outside, not everybody can do that much. But even if it would take 3x-4x more time for an average user, you still can simply get the team for free by playing the game on regular basis. Like, that's the only requirement that is objectively here.

Ofc if you don't actually play the game but spend all this time sharing valuable opinions on it in different communities, you may have some troubles with getting them. You do you, again.
